And at your current faculty job you don’t even get that (in psychology, CASAA is okay for that stuff, IMHO)

Ha! I could write some lyrics but it’s too depressing. And I love love love that the women are being the bosses they deserve to be. Holding their joy and getting to embrace genuinely awesome experiences.

Absolute cowards. I went from a bit of joy to seething rage.

β€œPeople are so negative about things...” Yes, we are so negative about blatantly offensive misogyny. And this isn't defending the team, it is being defensive about inexcusable behavior and claiming support and then laughing behind their backs. Fuck off, Hughes.

UNM authors explore concept of 'querencia' in new book The basic definition for the Spanish language word querencia is a metaphysical concept taken from the verb querer, which means "to want” or β€œto love." But the reality of querencia is more complicated,...

Are you familiar with the term "querencia"? On a random zoom call I was describing my deep appreciation and admiration for where I live in New Mexico and one of my colleagues gave me a single beautiful word that fully captured my experience. news.unm.edu/news/unm-aut...

Thanks for your advocacy on this issue. I've never understood it either and I doubt I ever will, especially in this funding climate.

I don’t understand why NIDA and NIAAA punish their research force like this, year after year. My original observation that the NIH ICs do not fund Cycle I grants on time (i.e., by Dec 1) under Continuing Resolutions in the absence of Congress acting on an appropriation has been modified in …

I will never understand why NIAAA does this to their grantees. Foot draggiest IC. And NIDA isn’t much better.

Fingers crossed for that one too! And my heart also breaks for program and grants management staff. It’s gotta be stressful to have such a backlog. Meanwhile cutting edge new alcohol science is on hold.

As a largely NIAAA funded center director, I will echo the ugh ugh ugh of NIAAA not funding any new grants in 2026. We are waiting on an NIAAA F31 that received a perfect score(!) in the June/July review. And three other grants, but the unfunded F31 training grant is the real knife in the heart.

Phenomenal coverage of concerns re: the proposed "new" approach to addiction recovery that takes us back 50 years, and will cause more deaths, higher costs, and more suffering. Beyond proud/impressed with the amazing @ninachristie.bsky.social and her impact on policy. thehill.com/opinion/heal...

Agree its a skill and hard work! I worked hard as an Editor/AE to ensure papers were reviewed quickly. It requires checking the system often, being proactive. I also do a ton of reviewing: 30-40 papers per year. I feel its critical for advancing science, supporting others, and improving my own work.

Both chambers of Congress have now passed the FY26 minibus with NIH provisions. The President will sign.

(1) $48.7 billion for NIH
(2) Full IDC recovery
(3) No more multi-year funding
(4) No NIH reorganization, maintaining the current IC structure.

Total madness! I'm so sorry about your non-score. Would also check with the SRO!

What in the actual...??? So wild. I just received summary statements for a discussed grant in which one of the reviewers was clearly commenting on a different proposal and it was the worst score of the 3 reviewers. I have never heard of a non-score, but my point is everything seems to be a mess.

this is great news, but it caused enormous stress & wasted huge amounts of time for no reason.
